O HAPPY DAY

O happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice.
And tell its raptures all abroad.

[Chorus]
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray. And live rejoicing every day.
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away.

Tis done, the great transaction's done
I am my Lord's, and He is mine.
He drew me and I followed on.
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

[Chorus]
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray. And live rejoicing every day.
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away.

Now rest my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Nor ever from my Lord depart,
With Him of every good possessed.

[Chorus]
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray. And live rejoicing every day.
Happy Day, happy day. When Jesus washed my sins away.
